Relationships and Voting, on Day 26/67?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

      My thoughts on  Day 26 of my 67 night-school class set of lesson plans for GED/HiSet learners, where the lesson 26 discussion is on relative relationships, mathematical and societal, are on how to build better availability for voting, for all of our citizens.

   Voting in the upcoming midterms is crucial to our relationship with our republic, and with our future.  Thanks to Annie for this info:

League of Women Voters. The LWV does voter registration via local and state chapters. They also encourage people to share voter registration tools by promoting http://www.vote411.org. And if you enter your state in the “Nationwide Voting Rules Quick View,” you can learn the voting options in your state and how they compare with those in other states.

Inside ourselves

Raffaello Palandri's Blog

We do not find happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment around us, and we cannot copy them from others. They are inside ourselves, we just need to become aware of it.

How many times do you see it?

People who are struggling to find happiness, to be joyful, to be able to say that they feel satisfied with their lives, and fulfilled by their jobs.

And these same people are looking everywhere, they are even trying to copy what others do.

Everything, to be happy, Everything to say that they are living a happier, healthier, and wealthier life. In every possible aspect.

Yet, they get disappointed. Every single time.

And this happens because whatever we may be looking for is inside ourselves.

All it takes is starting a life-long journey into ourselves, growing awareness, compassion, and understanding.

And you? Where are you, now?

The Week’s Best Cartoons 9/3

Filosofa's Word

The biggest topic for the political cartoonists this past week has once again been … the former guy.  I don’t know about you all, but I’m pretty sick and tired of seeing his name and his ugly mug wherever I look on the ‘net.  That said, with the investigations into his business, his criminal mishandling of classified documents, and his involvement in the January 6th attempted coup, there is reason for the news media to continue covering those things, and the cartoonists to continue drawing cartoons about him.  He’s just so damn easy to make cartoons about, for he IS a cartoon.  Nonetheless, when I checked out TokyoSand’s weekly cartoon collection to reblog here, while still impressed by the talent of the cartoonists, I selected mostly ones that were not about the former guy for this brief sampling.  But please do click on the link at the bottom of this…

The Gifts of Freedom

Silent Songs of Sonsnow

The Gifts of Freedom

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom,
That a singer may sing-
May sing in Joy.

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom,
That a dancer may dance-
May dance in Ecstasy.

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom,
That an athlete may Excel-
May excel with Pride.

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom, 
That an artist may Flower-
May flower to Fruition.

It is in Freedom-
And only in Freedom,
That each may find their self-
And each their sense of Dignity.
